If you listened to the media and the Obama Administration, you’d think the economy is recovering. Meanwhile, 20% of Americans are on food stamps. If that doesn’t make sense to you, it’s because — surprise, surprise — the economy actually isn’t doing so well.

Don’t believe the happy talk coming out of the White House, Federal Reserve and Treasury Department when it comes to the real unemployment rate and the true “Misery Index.” Because, according to an influential Wall Street advisor, the figures are a fraud.

In a memo to clients provided to Secrets, David John Marotta calculates the actual unemployment rate of those not working at a sky-high 37.2 percent, not the 6.7 percent advertised by the Fed, and the Misery Index at over 14, not the 8 claimed by the government.

Marotta, who recently advised those worried about an imploding economy to get a gun, said that the government isn’t being honest in how it calculates those out of the workforce or inflation, the two numbers used to get the Misery Index figure.

“The unemployment rate only describes people who are currently working or looking for work,” he said. That leaves out a ton more.

“Unemployment in its truest definition, meaning the portion of people who do not have any job, is 37.2 percent. This number obviously includes some people who are not or never plan to seek employment. But it does describe how many people are not able to, do not want to or cannot find a way to work. Policies that remove the barriers to employment, thus decreasing this number, are obviously beneficial,” he and colleague Megan Russell in their new investors note from their offices in Charlottesville, Va.

…“These tricks, along with a host of other dubious accounting schemes, underreport inflation by about 3 percent,” they wrote, adding that the official inflation rate is just 1.24 percent.

Barack Obama’s presidency may be the single biggest misfortune this country : has ever encountered. Whether this country will ever recover from the damage he’s doing is an open question.

I have said many times Americans opinion about President Obama and it solid , I understand the concern of the American people – but suffice to say , look further into that hide the truth and the whole truth – what is , that great and historical in power Barack Obama . I know that may be a lot of not satisfied , but all people to please , let’s help those who need in life …)))

The worst thing about it is it is being done intentionally to destroy our republic with the next steps depopulate and bring in there 50 year communists nazi plan of a one world order, one world government, one world religion. These traitors to our constitution need to be tried for treason.

To believe that Obama wants to destroy America is just hogwash, fueled by ignorance, and wrapped in paranoia.
Progressives, Democrats, centrists, and independents–all reasonable, thinking people capable of separating the wheat from the chaff– believe that those who hold such arcane conspiracy theories are just nuts. There’s absolutely no evidence that it is true.

However there is a great deal of evidence that conservatives have engaged in a systematic campaign to destroy our economy by blocking nearly everything Obama does or has done. Then, because simple minded people believe the President is responsible for everything that happens in the economy (even though he is merely one man–duh!) they can blame Obama!

That has been the conservative strategy ever since Obama took office. It reveals how simply evil the conservatives are who hatched it and follow it.

True, progressives and conservatives agree that the misery index and unemployment is higher than the administration says, but the reasons we see could not be more different. The Reagan Revolution for Only the Rich made the wealth gap huge, sucking money in a huge vortex from the middle class and poor up to the rich. It was the worst thing ever for America, and outsourcing our jobs especially after that was one of the second worst things.

Even worse currently is the way the no nothing do nothing House of Reps tries (flails, heaping ignorance upon ignorance) to block everything that Obama does. Have you noticed the record number of filibuster attempts in the Senate, so much that Harry Reid had to block the crazy conservative coalition from stopping everything going through government?? Are you conservatives completely blind to this? To REALITY??

The entire GOP & Tea Party strategy can be encapsulated in Mitch McConnell’s first words after Obama was elected: “Destroy Obama.” Nothing else matters, not human decency, not the economy, not peoples jobs– no, just grasping absolute power for the sake of absolute power — but from a crippled base of nothing because Obama destroyed the Conservatives in both elections.

It is time for bold, decent progressive action to help and support and enrich the poor and middle class, not conservative hiding in the sand.

ONLY getting sufficient money (jobs too, of course) into the hands of the poor and middle class will drive our economy. Trickle-down is a great big lie.

There’s almost nothing Obama does that is not blocked by the conservative coalition backed by the insipid Tea Party movement which is based on complete ignorance. So please wake up, get a clue, look at lcurve.org and read alternet.org

Wow. Talk about deceptive. I can’t let this go. The labor force participation rate is 62.8%. The 37.2% of people who are not in the labor force include people like people living off of retirement income or savings and don’t need to work anymore. It includes stay-at-home parents like my wife who have chosen not to work, but take care of the home and the kids. It includes adolescents between the ages of 16 and 18 who are concentrating on school instead of working and have yet to even look for a job. It includes college students who are on full ride scholarships who don’t work and are also concentrating on school. And on and on the list goes.

How many people are not in the labor force who would like to be? That number is unknown.

The real number we should be looking at and the number that should really bother economists is the U-6 unemployment rate. The number that the media reports is the U-3 unemployment rate. The U-3 is 6.7% and only tells us how many civilians are employed versus how many people are unemployed and applying for/receiving unemployment benefits.

The U-6 number adds discouraged workers, the marginally attached, and part time workers to the equation. The highest this number has been in the past 20 years was 11.9% under Clinton. However, that number decreased when Republicans took control of the House and took a jump starting in late 2000. We entered a recession due to Clinton era policies and exacerbated by the attacks on 9/11. However, some policies in late 2001 and 2002 helped stave off a severe recession and we went into a recovery in 2003 that lasted all the way until 2007. In 2008 after a year of a Democrat controlled congress, we entered into another recession. By the time Obama took office, Democrat policies had driven the U-6 unemployment rate up a full 6 points in just one year putting it at an even 14%.

With the passing of the “American Recovery and Investment Act” Obama and the Democrat controlled congress drove U-6 unemployment up to 17.1%

During their tenure, this Democrat controlled government has not yet put the U-6 unemployment rate below where it was when they took control in early 2007. When the 110th Congress began work on January 3rd, 2007, U-6 was at 8.4% (nothing to be proud of). It now stands at 13.1%

The labor force participation rate is a serious issue. It is scary and we should be worried about it. I believe it proves we are not in a recovery, but still deeply entrenched in a recession if not a depression. However, at the end of the day, saying unemployment is 37.2% is either ignorant or deceptive. Either way, it is untrue.

Many senators and congress people are being blackmailed and lives of their families threatened which leaves them helpless to help we the people of this country we the people will have to do our part to stop this very small number of sick perverted evil criminal elite that are poisoning all our food and water so they aren’t brought to justice. When will the military turn on them we are being poisoned while we wait.

Continue asking the government for what is yours and see what you get. The current two party system feeds off you continuing to support it. Research a libertarian candidate to get back to small government and refocused on personal liberty and responsibility. Republican or Democrat just means more of the same downward spiral.

America, NEVER GIVE UP!!!! Call John Boehner 202-225-6205 Demand a special committee to get the truth about Benghazi, please. This is an election year, we expect the sugar coating to start in January 2014 on both sides of the aisle.
Please remember when we asked about the 2012 Benghazi attack, the IRS and more than one hundred breaches of the US Constitution. We asked for ObamaCare to be repealed, we asked for a balanced budget and to stop the out of control spending. We continue to ask for a government of the people, by the people, for the people and we are ignored.
We ask that you secure our borders and enforce our laws. Then you aid and abet smuggling illegals across the border illegally and ignore our plea. You help fund ObamaCare by cutting over $500 Billion dollars from medicare. Reduce spending by gutting the military.
Then furnish government aid for illegal aliens. I am not convinced that Fast & Furious was not just an illegal act, but possibly a smokescreen for something much larger.
America has no gold reserve, it belongs to China. You take from those that have paid the price. Then give our benefits to illegals. We have asked for reduced taxes to allow the economy to grow. We have repeatedly asked that new oil drilling be allowed on government land to reduce unemployment and lessen dependency on the middle east We the people are fed up with false promises and excuses. GOD BLESS AMERICA, ONE NATION UNDER GOD!
2 chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Please pray for America & Israel.

And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
